marketing myself

It's been a while since my last post, and I've been quite busy!
Back in February I applied for a scholarship with the Three Rivers Arts Festival; they run a program for emerging artists that covers booth fees and other costs related to participating in the festival. Fortunately, I was one of the ones selected, and I'll be showing my prints this coming weekend as part of the Artists' Market! I'll also be participating in the New Juried Visual Art Exhibition, which showcases talent from Pittsburgh and the surrounding counties.

Here are all the details:

Three Rivers Arts Festival
Gateway Center & the Point, Pittsburgh, PA
June 4 - 12

you can find me at:
Gateway Center Plaza, Booth 87
June 4 - 8, from noon to 8pm

New Juried Visual Art Exhibition
Trust Arts Education Center
June 4 - 12

You can also check out some of the other artists participating in the emerging artist program here. I hope to see you there!

website for new piece!

I've constructed a sister-blog to this one for my new art piece, kapliczek (shrines). Please check it out! New photos will be added as more shrines are installed.

very small work in progress

A few images of pieces I'm working on for an upcoming show at Future Tenant. It opens April 16th. For a sense of scale, the starlings in the second photo are jellybean-sized. The box is about 3" wide.

Just stumbled upon this flickr feed courtesy of stream-of-consciousness art website butdoesitfloat:

Some birds that didn't make it into frames for the Paper show.

This was passed on to me by fellow artist and paper aficionado Seth Clark:
